All about coding

Coding is what makes it possible for us to create computer software, apps and websites. Your browser, your OS, the apps on your phone, our class blog, and all websites – they’re all made with code.

Learning coding empowers you to do many things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do. These things include hand-crafting your own websites, becoming a career coder or even starting a technology business. Most importantly, you’ll be able to understand the technology shaping your world.

Mrs Baldwin introduced us to a coding website called Khanacademy. We were first given a chance to play with the codes and see what we could create. The website had docs to draw all different shapes, lines, even animations. We also saw some examples of what other students and adults had created. We were so excited and blown away with what could be created by writing a code. There were games, animations and really detailed drawings of cartoons.

Check out the codes we were using below.

The following week we were then set a task to create a face using the codes. Mrs Baldwin is also only learning about coding. She gave us some tips and showed us what could be created. We then experimented ourselves and helped each other with creating different shapes, backgrounds and lines. Mrs Baldwin was blown away with what was achieved in the lesson.

Check out our work below. We have included the code we had to type to create the picture and the picture the code actually created.

We are very proud of our efforts and look forward to more coding in the future!
